I will be hunting during the nighttime hours and was wondering what the pros and cons of a spotlight would be. I don't have any scopes that are night "approved" or such. The use of a spotlight is vital unless we get some snow on the ground.

My question now is: Will it scare them if I scan the field every 5 minutes? Will they run as soon as they see it or will they stop? I would be calling them in if that makes any difference.
